I don't know to what extent his presence would have inflamed matters, but I think it is beyond hopeful to suggest that the demographics of voters who have consistently shown an unwillingness to come to the polls when President Obama is not facing election would have done so if the state Democratic Party leaders had the wisdom to accept his aid.

Democrats will wake up because they are ALWAYS asleep in the midterms. Bunch of lazy, apathetic bastards.

And this is what you are satisfied with and support leading the country? Hmm. Not sure I could.

Disinformation campaign? The Russian collusion meme pushed by the 'news' media, behaving as a political propaganda organ, hell bent to destroy a legitimately elected president to implement his agenda per the votes of the same electorate. Reference The Big Lie Reference Goebbels

I'd have to agree.

McConnell is a back room, out of the limelight, tactical statesman able to broker deals that matter. In times like these, especially like these, these are skills and abilities worth their weight in gold, perhaps even so much so as to make up for Obama's lack of skills and abilities in these areas.

We'll see. The future is not yet written.

Let me put it this way TD, if I lived in Ky.I would not have voted for her--I would have stayed home, and apparently many Kentuckians did stay home.

Yes, I believe there was a new ruling and that some of them were able to reopen recently. Rowe vs Wade guarantees every woman in this country the right to reproductive care.

No more so than the 21st amendment guarantees that you will not live in a dry county, be denied service based upon your age or have the taxpayers pay your bar tab.

Yes, they did. Perhaps if they had defended Obama's policies and the progressive agenda and been true to their beliefs and voting records, they would have fared better than they did with the phoney crap. Just saying!!
